"Yes, you heard it right, EA have bundled the ever-loved SecuROM DRM with Crysis Warhead for the Steam release, seemingly unaware that Steam already acts as its own DRM."

GameXtract writes "Hey, if Crytek won't do it properly then modders will surely get to it sooner or later. Master from the crymod forums has created a performance config. What the hell is a config? If you are not satisfied with the current graphic settings, you can edit your/create your own configuration file to play Crysis Warhead with. This will allow you the user to be very picky in exactly how you want your game to look. Of course the average gamer will have no freaking clue on how to do this which is why community modders like Master cut us the slack, and complete it out of generosity."

Is it time to start a Boycott? Or is EA working on a tool to help customers get around the rediculous DRM?
An email from EA would suggest the second.
"EA is expediting development of a system that will allow consumers to
de-authorize machines and move authorizations to new machines."

GameXtract writes "It's quite interesting to see what trash you find on forums these days. Users going crazy over the latest hot gaming news, reviews, and apparently torrents are now a big hot topic. Crysis Warhead is currently available at your closet retail store or even on Steam, but their are some who choose that shelling out $29.99 isn't worth it. For those pricks who cant waste their time pulling out their wallets, are most likely already on their favorite bit torrent software, and downloading the leaked version of Crysis Warhead."

Crysis Warhead's release date has been delayed by 1 week, to be released on the 25th of September.

This will sure make many teenagers(and others) unhappy in Australia as school holidays are set to begin on the original release date of 18th (or 19th).

Can you wait a week? Or will you import the game to make up a few days?

GameXtract writes "Box arts are a favorite timbit for players awaiting to receive a new title. While many people love to look at the front cover, I myself find more passion for the back cover. Why? Well for one it reveals a hell of a lot more than the front cover. The front cover reveals some fancy art, a rating, and the publisher as well as the developing studio. The back cover reveals tons of shit. System Requirements, in-game screenshots, text information, and many more minor features that will sure help reel the customer in. Today we got the back cover for Crysis Warhead, and you can get a full look at the image by clicking on it above. Has the back cover convinced you? The only reason I'm planing on grabbing the copy on day one is so that I can find out if my computer will crash like its having seizures, and see if their is any difference between the original title."

Speaking at Games Convention Developers Conference 2008 in Leipzig, Germany, Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli said the studio's next engine should be ready for sometime in 2012.

As of right now, he says, the degree to which graphics can represent real-life is bottlenecked by a lack of new hardware. He says GPU and CPU technology are converging, evident in the new technologies in development at Nvidia and ATI, as well as what Intel's doing with Larrabee.

Until the growing trend of CPU and GPU convergence is more defined, developers will have to focus on increased graphical stylization as well as more advanced physics and AI programming...
